Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different roles on the 2022 Kia Rio: front rotors handle a larger share of braking force and heat, so they typically wear faster, while rear rotors often experience less stress but still need periodic attention. At Courtesy Kia of Brandon we explain these differences clearly and tailor recommendations—sometimes only front rotors need replacement, other times both axles benefit from new rotors and pads for balanced braking. Ignoring uneven wear can lead to vibration, reduced stopping distance, and premature pad wear, increasing long-term costs.
